The age-dependent fusion of the cranial bones and the ossification of the cranial sutures have been at the discussion and research point since the 16th century. Studies on the ossification patterns of the sutures have been published in various fields like anthropology, forensics and radiology. (1–6) This retrospective study is intended to show the age-dependent closure of the cranial sutures by radiological imaging of the skull. For this purpose, an objective evaluation score (OES) was established, that describes the ossification of the sutures by a score point system based on objective parameters. A subjective evaluation score (SES) described the same measuring areas for subsequent comparison. A total of 99 patients were divided into 6 age groups: 0 to
